The Natural beauty of Guanacaste Costa Rica
We had the most amazing day in Costa Rica. This was especially because our tour guide Juan Ponce was so knowledgable and made sure he took care of us at every step of the way and made the trip so so memorable. Costa Rica, Guancaste is a beautiful city and to be able to see the wildlife upfront was a beautiful experience. I highly recommend the water Safari tour plus going to see the sloths. We also had an amazing time with the cacao and coffee making at the end of the day, Juan really took care of us and let us see the natural habitat of Costa Rica. I would definitely book a day like this again. It was my most favourite and memorable day of the trip. Special shout out to Juan Ponce for making this day very memorable.

3rd visit with Alex on the beach: ATV-ing
Our family had a great ATV tour with Andy. Dirty, wet and tired after 2 1/2 hours…just what the family needed to start off our Costa Rican adventures. Everything was very well organized through Alex on the beach. Pickup was smooth and our driver, Henry, was friendly and a safe/efficient driver. We have used Alex from our first trip 25 years ago and have always had great experiences with his company coordinating for us.

2nd time doing it and would do it again.
We did the Miravalles combo tour and it did not disappoint. Zip lining, the waterfall, the food, horseback riding, the BRIDGE, another waterfall, the scenery, and the mud bath. All fantastic. Ask for Juan Ponce and he will make sure you have a great time.

Safe and Exactly what I look for in tour packages
Booked the Safari excursions with Daniel and he made sure my family and I were well accommodated for private transportation with car seat included for my toddler which was a great consideration and that the trip itinerary was safe enough for my mom and toddler in the costa rican heat. The driver Juan was a great guide telling us about costa rican culture and traditions along the way and making sure we saw plants and wildlife on the ride to the excursion and back to the hotel. We were able to stop by a supermarket and souvenir outlet which was so nice of the driver to take us. All in all i felt very safe and the staff are honest and highly professional. I will book through them every time i come back to CR! Muchas gracias Daniel y Juan 🙏🏻

Incredible experience
This tour was fantastic. Gino was our guide, he picked us up from the hotel and drove us to the destination where we boarded the boat. The boat navigation was fantastic bringing us to see birds, monkeys, crocodiles, batsiguanas. The drive was scenic, seeing macaws, howler monkeys and a private educational experience making the guiatal pottery. The lunch was a bonus seeing traditional wood burning stoves. The rice pudding is a must try.

A very memorable tour.
We had a fantastic time. It was full of adventure, information and excitement. Our guide Gino was very knowledgeable about everything we saw. We got to see macaws, monkeys, alligators, all kinds of birds. We even stopped by and watched a local artist make pottery.

Amazing Safari on the Tempisque River at Palo Verde National Park
Amazing experience on this jungle safari. We saw so much wildlife including macaws, parrots, coatis, white ibis, little blue herons, snowy egrets, songbirds, green herons, iguanas, white-faced capuchin monkeys, crocodiles and more!! And then we were treated to a delicious Costa Rican lunch and the finale was a special demonstration in Guiatil. They’re famous for stunning pottery that’s uniquely carved and we were treated to their special way of producing the clay. Gino and his driver were so knowledgeable about the flora and fauna. Very memorable experience.

Best of the Best!
If you want a great time with a guide who is personally invested in you and providing the best outcome for you and your people, look no further! Alex is the best! We are just wrapping up our final day after a beautiful one month stay! We used Alex several times during this vacation. Every single time was AMAZING, the trips just kept getting better! His knowledge of the area, excellent driving skills, comfortable vans and unmatched humor absolutely made the trip the best ever! We’ve come here for the last three years and Adventures with Alex will be who we use for all of our future trips.
